Sandworms of Dune

Sandworms of Dune

In Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the final installment of the Dune epic, a Duncan Idaho-led team of clones, including Paul Atreides — the prescient, messiah-like Kwisatz Haderach — fight to stop thinking machines from annihilating humanity.

For Fans of… The original Dune novels by Herbert’s late father, Frank.

Bottom Line After slogging through a desert’s worth of rote Star Wars-sisms and Sahara-dry prose, you’ll wish Frank had been at the helm. C+
